11:35 pm
family of duck hunters. they make a good living selling duck calls. morrissey put out a statement calling them serial killers saying he could not appear on our show with them. last night have some fun with it, we shot this fake commercial. >> for the vegan in your life, "duck dynasty" proudly presents carrot call, specifically designed to mimic the call of the wild carrot. just blow into the carrot call and wait. those little suckers leap right out of the dirt and into your mouth. >> jimmy: i won't show the whole thing again, but you get the idea. instead of duck calls, we had carrot calls. you know, it was dumb. but today, morrissey released a truly idiotic statement. i won't repeat it, but you can look it up online. i'll be honest, it made me very angry. and this had nothing to do with people who eat meat versus people who don't. i have a lot of respect for people who don't eat meat. i totally understand if being on the show with duck hunters made morrissey feel uncomfortable. but the statement he made is
11:36 pm
ridiculous. so i'd like to invite him to join me on the show to discuss it because i am an open even-handed person who considers and respects all point of views. i am an open and even-handed person who considers all -- [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] i figure if i keep saying it, maybe it will be true. so you are invited, morrissey, to talk this out, and perhaps we will both be better men for it. but probably not. [ laughter ] all right. now on to an even less relevant subject, lindsay lohan. [ laughter ] lindsay lohan has a hearing on march 18th that will determine if she violated her probation by lying to police after yet another car accident in the summer. if the court decides she did violate probation, she could get jail time, but her lawyer is trying to avoid that with a plea deal. he sent a lawyer to the judge yesterday suggesting that instead of going to trial, lindsay could do community service by working as a motivational speaker. [ laughter ] it's a good one. this attorney sounds like a
11:37 pm
funny guy. the lawyer said she'd be willing to record public service announcements and do periodic visits to schools, hospitals and other venue where is she would provide inspirational talks encouraging children to pursue positive goals and avoid bad habits. [ laughter ] how would she do that? should she stand up in front of the class and go "don't be this"? what i did. [ applause ] the lawyer is serious about this motivational speaking tour. they've even started booking dates and doing promotion. >> get ready for the lindsay lohan motivational speaking tour. making surprise visits this summer to springfield, missouri. spokane, washington. lubbock, texas. gallup, new mexico. and one lucky fan will get a personal one-on-one counselling session with lindsay.
11:38 pm
purchase tickets now, online, or at participating convenience stores. tickets not refundable. lindsay not responsible for damages or death. [ cheers and applause ] not a good driver i think is what we're trying to say. desmond bryant was arrested saturday morning after charge of criminal mischief. the interesting part is his mug shot. which is this. [ laughter ] he looks like an anaconda in the middle of digesting a rabbit. you're supposed to see cheese. if i were him, i'd get arrested again so i could redo the mug shot. this is not a dummy, he went to
11:39 pm
harvard. although i'm guessing they won't use that in their brochures. remember tebowing? i'd like to start a new one called dez'g. all you have to do is take a picture of yourself with your tongue halfway out of your mouth like a bull frog. for example, this is guillermo dez'g. this is gordon ramsay, our guest, dez'g. and this is our other guest stanley tucci dez'g. see? it's fun. so tweet a picture to me @jimmykimmel with the #dez'g. who knows, maybe we'll start a sensation. this could be our "gangnam style" together. this is a great clip. a ufc fighter visited eastern congo, he's doing some charity work over there. they don't get a lot of visitors in that part of the world. so the kids were extremely excited to see him, not because they're ufc fans, but because they had never seen a white
11:40 pm
person before. >> this is the first time these kiddos have ever seen a white man and it's the first time they've ever touched arm hair. they don't have it like i have it. i have very hairy arm hair. and so they just love being able to touch my arm hair. how about this? >> oh! ah! [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's something, huh? i guess that's what it's like to be a golden retriever. [ laughter ] we've got to get donald trump over there. they'll go nuts. on sunday, we had the academy awards across the street from us. part of the reason the movie
11:41 pm
companies like to get nominated for these and win is because the week after the oscars, people go to the theaters to see them. it's like a big commercial telling everyone how great these movies are. and they also try new marketing strategies. like "zero dark thirty," some people chose not to see it after reading about the torture in the movie. so for those people, after the oscars, they market it in a completely different way. >> mya was a workaholic career girl who couldn't find the mine of her dreams. >> you will never find him. >> but she never gave up hope. ♪ i need love love >> that he was out there. and even if he played hard to get. >> called from six different pay phones from two different cities never using the same phone twice. >> nothing could stop her from nabbing the one man she's been searching for. this spring on dvd and blu-ray, sometimes it's good to be a little bit bad. "zero dark flirty."
11:42 pm
sparks fly march 13th. >> jimmy: fun, right? [ cheers and applause ] i'll bring the skinny girl margaritas and we'll enjoy. this is good, this is the ballad of a man named early johnson. early is a welder from michigan. last week he and his fiancee came home from work to find out their home had been burglarized. among the items missing were two televisions, a computer, and early's vast collection of pornographic videos. >> i had a collection that had every african-american that's been since the '70s up until now, i had the dvds. it was a stack this high. as you see that right here, it's a long thing that's left. my important collection, it's valuable. my collection was the best in michigan. a guy in connecticut told me that. i'm not no scum bag guy, a pervert or anything like that.
11:43 pm
it keeps my relationship fresh and tight and i learn stuff that i can, you know, use, on her. >> jimmy: what a lucky lady. [ applause ] mr. johnson claims his collection is valued at $7,500. who gets their porn collection appraised? the story has been getting national attention. video companies are coming to his aid and sending him free stuff. it's like a porn version of "it's a wonderful life." [ laughter ] i have a feeling a lot of guys are going to be reporting stolen video collections in the next few days. but i have many, many questions about this, so we got in touch with early and his fiancee angela. when we come back, we'll get a full report. there they are. i have to say, i don't think i've ever been more excited for an interview in my life. gordon ramsay, stanley tucci, and music from gold fields. so stick around. we'll be right back. ♪

[ laughter ] >> no, we did not. >> jimmy: some people would be embarrassed to go on tv with the
11:50 pm
story of stolen porn. why aren't you? >> the reason why i'm not is because i enjoy watching porn and i also use porn as educational on how to treat my woman. you have to keep your relationship fresh in order to make it work. so what i do is i learn different techniques and i try to make sex with me an emotional experience that she'll never forget every time we have it. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: now i'm falling in love. and angela, is this education paying off? >> yes. >> jimmy: it is. all right. now how do you know that the collection was worth $7,000 or $7,500? >> basically, a friend of mine. him and i, we took it and had it
11:51 pm
appraised. >> jimmy: you had it appraised. >> yes. and what they offered me for it -- >> jimmy: wait, who appraised this for you? >> i don't want to say their name. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you seem to be talking to the dog or something. i don't know what's going on. just stay right there in the frame and that will be better. now, just out of curiosity, how much did you spend on angela's engagement ring? was it more or less than the porn collection? >> well -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: we have another clip from the local news. let's take a look. >> mr. johnson says he believes the pornography collection is worth $7,500 because he had it appraised bay dealer in holland. the couple has renters insurance and it will be easy to replace the tvs but not so much that stolen collection. >> you would think some people might be reluck and the to
11:52 pm
report stolen pornography. >> mr. johnson did not call the police because he just doesn't call the police. it's not his way. but angela says she reported the crime because that's what you do when someone breaks into your home and violates your space. >> jimmy: somehow they found the three whitest people on earth to do that story. [ cheers and applause ] why didn't you want to call the police? >> well, basically where i'm from, we don't really talk to the police. >> jimmy: i understand. >> so i didn't give a police report. >> jimmy: have the police been helpful? are there any leads? >> no comment. >> jimmy: okay. earlie, is it possible that angela threw your porn out?

[ laughter ] very, very tough. >> jimmy: so your daughter is 14, so she's not driving or anything yet. >> she turns 15 in may. says daddy, will you teach me
12:03 am
how to drive? i said first of all, i passed my test the third time. i had a catastrophic upbringing. unfortunately i had my girlfriend's car, but i hadn't passed my test. i was working in this country house hotel around the corner from her house. it was late one night, i said look, i'll drive around the back streets. i finished work. 17 years of age. shot down the back roads. and there was this car coming towards me overtaking a freaking tractor. so i swerved, the tractor hit me, and the car went straight through the side of this cottage. so as i woke up with this guy screaming at me, all of a sudden the police arrives. i.d., insurance, [ bleep ], no i.d., no insurance. >> jimmy: wow. >> worse, i hadn't even passed my test. now i had to explain to my girlfriend's father that i've smashed her new car that she bought from you and, by the way, i've got no insurance. so he gave me the biggest boot up the ass i had ever had in my entire life. >> jimmy: i bet he did. >> did you have to pay for the whole thing? >> we separated about three

12:05 am
checked out because of the food. i've never had a drug in my life. but i had this apparatus to rotate my foot slowly. so i took this vicodin. >> jimmy: yes. >> holy [ bleep ]. i said i feel a bit weird. he said well you better stay down here then. don't go upstairs. well, i'm not going to sleepwalk. so i stay on the sofa, i put my leg up. woke up about half past 8:00 the next morning, which i never sleep in that late. thinking [ bleep ] my leg is amazing, this is incredible. it was the wrong [ bleep ] leg. i actually through the night swapped legs and for some reason the wrong leg was in the stirrup.

i brought a grocery bag filled with food. >> jimmy: same here. >> you did? >> jimmy: yeah. >> and if it was a sandwich like maybe a veal cutlet sandwich or eggplant or scrambled egg and peppers and potatoes. and i weighed like 90 pounds. >> jimmy: same here. >> an entire loaf of bread. >> jimmy: and the big grease spot on the side of the bag. >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: did the kids think that was weird? because at my school, the kids thought it was very weird. >> they did think it was weird. they were shock ed. this boy with lots of hair at the time with a sack, and you're like oh, what laborers are coming with you to eat your lunch? >> jimmy: my mother, my birthday especially, but every once in a while we'd have linguini and crabs and my mother would put that in my lunch bag the next day, and the horror on the children's faces.
12:25 am
it was like they had seen me dissecting a frog in front of them. >> how did she wrap it up for you? >> jimmy: poorly. i don't even remember. i think it was just put in the lunchbox and had welcome back cotter on it or something. >> you had to boil your own crab. >> jimmy: but packing it is -- i would think that out. i didn't want things to get soggy. >> so do you do the separation thing? >> jimmy: yes, i will. like i take the meatball and i wrap it in issaran wrap and i'l have the bread on the side and a little packet of sauce. >> so they compile it themselves. >> jimmy: they have to build it themselves. >> it's lovely. it's a sign of love. >> jimmy: it's a sign of love. but more insanity. >> yes, yes. real anal retentiveness. >> jimmy: did you do that? >> i have done that on occasion. i do think okay, no, i can't do. this because inevitably i make them in the morning, i don't like to make them the night before, because they do get soggy.
12:26 am
what i do is my daughter loves goat cheese and olive oil on bread. so i toast the bread lightly, and then sprinkle the olive oil on, the really good olive oil. >> jimmy: of course. >> not the cheap stuff. and goat cheese, spread that on and wrap it up right away so it stays warm, because they go to school like 4:00 in the morning or whatever it is and they eat lunch at 7:00. it's ridiculous. >> jimmy: that's the kind of meticulous care that your family instilled in you, and then you instilled into this cook book that you had nothing to do with. >> right, yeah. and i'm really food obsessed -- as you know, i'm food obsessed. i'm actually working on another cookbook that i am going to do myself. >> jimmy: oh, kick the family out. "jack the giant slayer." i saw this movie. >> you did? >> jimmy: yeah, it's great. >> oh, wow. >> jimmy: i didn't see it in
12:27 am
3-d. i saw it in 2-d. ewan mcgregor was here. have you not seen it here? >> i've seen it twice, that's it, i'm done. >> jimmy: this is you in the movie. >> yes. [ applause ] >> jimmy: they like putting you in wigs, don't they? >> i love wigs. i love them. >> jimmy: here you are from "the hunger games" in another wig. [ cheers and applause ] a very natural look for you. >> that's my favorite. >> jimmy: "the lovely bones." is that your favorite? >> oh yeah. what a fun character to play. >> jimmy: isn't it annoying to keep a wig on? >> when a wig is well made, you don't even know you have it on. >> jimmy: i've always said that. who's making these wigs, your mother? >> yes. >> jimmy: assemble the wig yourself when you get to school. >> that's right. >> jimmy: well, it's very good to have you here. >> thank you. i'm very happy to be here.
12:28 am
>> jimmy: come back to the house, we'll look at the cookbook. "jack the giant slayer" is in theaters friday, and this is a book, it's called "the tucci cookbook." we'll be right back with music from gold fields. well, well, well. growing up, we didn't have u-verse. we couldn't record four shows at the same time. in my day, you were lucky if you could record two shows. and if mom was recording her dumb show and dad was recording his dumb show then, by george, that's all we watched. and we liked it! today's kids got it so good.
